1971 Map of Colstrip East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Colstrip serves as the industrial heart of this landscape in the early 1970s, where the expansion of coal extraction is clearly visible. The massive Strip Mine footprint and associated Mine workings dominate the southwestern terrain, served by the Burlington Northern railroad lines that snake through the valley to transport coal. This industrial activity contrasts with the surrounding topography, which is defined by a series of drainages including Sprague Creek, Spring Creek, and Pony Creek.
